Control knobs

Compact control knobs enable precise positioning

Since their market launch, mechanical rotary knobs from SIKO (known as DKs) have successfully conquered many new areas of application with their integrated measuring system. Why this is the case is literally "in the palm of your hand or at your fingertips", because DKs are filigree, industrial-grade control knobs with a sophisticated combination of handwheel and mechanical digital position indicator.

SIKO rotary knobs are the ideal solution for tight spaces

The DK series controllers open up applications in which multiple axis rotations need to be displayed in confined spaces. The handy adjustment knobs show their direct effect on the built-in mechanical displays even with minimal deflection, because despite their small external dimensions, all SIKO rotary knobs have a fully-fledged reduction gear. Only this gear technology enables extremely fine resolution detection and precise absolute display of adjustment values directly at the measuring point.

Simple installation of the control knobs

Installation is also extremely simple: attach, lock in place – done. All that is required is a small hole on the machine side to accommodate the torque arm. The proven SIKO gear technology also makes any installation position possible.

SIKO control knobs are a simple and cost-effective solution

The innovative concept of the DK series inspires mechanical engineering to create particularly compact, ergonomic and, above all, cost-effective solutions. Users benefit from the development experience in the two areas of expertise "combined" in this product group: handwheel technology and digital position indicators.

SIKO rotary controllers are ideal for applications in process technology and process engineering

DK series rotary controls are adaptable series products that enable a variety of other display values in addition to standard values. Their suitability for industrial use is demonstrated, for example, in process engineering, which requires high precision in valve adjustment for countless dosing tasks. Many available rotary knobs prove to be unsuitable here because they cannot achieve the necessary accuracy and reproducibility. The control knobs from SIKO meet both criteria with flying colors and visualize even non-linear adjustment processes.
